Hurray for the Riff Raff Shares New “Pa’lante” Video: Watch

Hurray for the Riff Raff, the Alynda Segarra-fronted band, have shared a new video for their song “Pa’lante.” Directed by Kristian Mercado Figueroa, the clip follows the lives of a Puerto Rican family navigating the struggles of their post-Hurricane Maria country. It stars The Florida Project’s Mela Murder, Kareem Savinon, and features Segarra herself amongst edits of archival footage of Puerto Rican civil rights activists the Young Lords. Watch it below.

“Pa’lante is a very Puerto Rican mindset—be it a family struggling to stay together, or recovering from the hurricane, the Puerto Rican people are strong and they will always stand and move forward,” director Figueroa said in a statement. The video aims to raise awareness and profits for the PRIMA Relief Fund, a collective dedicated to helping Puerto Rico’s independent artistic and music communities following Hurricane Maria.

“Pa’lante” is a standout track from last year’s The Navigator. The title is a Spanish affirmation meaning “onwards, forwards,” and the track features a sample of Nuyorican poet Pedro Pietri.
